Earthquake often happens around us. It brings great damages. Earthquake is hard to be predicted
and that makes a lot of victims. Actually there are three kinds of earthquake. The different kinds of
earthquake are commonly based on the factor and geological area where the earthquakes happen.
These three kinds of earthquake are tectonic, volcanic and explosive.
Tectonic earthquake is the most common one. This kind of earthquake happens while earth’s crust
rocks break because of the geological strength created by moving of the earth’s plates.
Volcanic earthquakes happen exactly with volcanic activity. Volcanic earthquakes are when the
volcano produces acidic lava, which dries quickly. When it dries quickly it blocks the top of the volcano.
This makes no more magma can escape. Pressure starts to build up and eventually the acidic lava can
no longer stand the pressure. So, the volcano is free to explode. The pressure is released so fast that an
earthquake is caused. A volcanic earthquake is usually kept within 10-20 miles from the volcano.
Explosive earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes where small earthquakes occur
in underground mines and caverns.
23. What happens when lava can’t flow and force in a great amount?
A. Becoming acidic lava.
B. Starting to dry readily.
C. Moving the earth’s plate.
